Maxim Zinoviev: "The team had a good month, added to the game and discipline"

— The result today was determined by everything in aggregate: tactics, attitude, some individual episodes in our favor. Without the mood, involvement in the match, it is difficult to win single combats, tactics allow us to maintain a certain pattern that we are preparing for the match. It was traced today, we understood how to act both in attack and in defense. We also understood how our opponent would act.

It would be difficult in any case, since the team in Ryazan preaches vertical, quite power football, rather waiting for the opponent's mistakes than creating moments by itself. But in general, we coped with it, created good moments, just in some of them we had to act to the right. And when controlling the ball, and in the final stage.

Nevertheless, we deservedly won, had the initiative, and those episodes that appeared at our gates came from standard positions. Long-range strikes did not pose much of a threat.

The opponent did not radically change his game during the match, somewhere there were just substitutions by position, a small rotation in the lines, but there were no significant changes in the pattern, so it was not so important to react to this. We had to act reliably on the defensive and use the episodes that we created. That's what we did.

We had one-on-one exits, and the same standards, so I can say that the girls had a good stretch over the last month, added to the quality of the game and discipline. A week ago there was a difficult trip to Kazan for the Russian Cup, where we spent a lot of energy. So today we showed character when it was hard, withstood the onslaught of the opponent in the end and brought it to victory.

Congratulations to the team and our fans, who came to Ryazan in large numbers for the game!
